History: Prohibition Of Alcoholic Beverages, Los Angeles, California, United States

Revivalism in Second Great Awakening and the Third Great Awakening in the mid- and late-nineteenth century set the stage for the bond between pietistic Protestantism and prohibition in the United States: "The greater prevalence of revival religion within a population, the greater support for the Prohibition parties within that population." Historian Nancy Koester expressed the belief that Prohibition was a “victory for progressives and social gospel activists battling poverty”. Prohibition also united progressives and revivalists.
